Anyone else not like being touched?

I don’t like being touched. Sometimes even by my kids and especially by my husband. It’s ok if I initiate like a hug but when they want to hug me or lean on me it bothers me, especially when depressed

Yes! My mother can 100% not touch me. My niece just turned 4 and loves hugs and I can't help but tense up each time. I can tickle her and swing her around though. I usually don't have a problem with my boyfriend or best friend, but usually when it comes to an affectionate thing, my mind freezes and panics.

Yep. I think I've always felt that way. I have to be ready for it. If I'm not, then it bothers me quite a bit
